Honestly... Ok, the price is cheap respect of all other e.v. and in some context a glorified golf cart is ok(-ish) [1] autonomy in those setup might not be a so big issue... But for the price and for what it's depicted to be is absurdly expensive.
I mean, it's something that can be use in a rural area where people live nearby some countryside shop and have to casually move stuff around or in a city for similar use-case, mostly for elderly who want a cheap and easy to drive/park vehicle that still have more than a char with wheels... In that case perhaps a chair with wheels ATV (quad)-alike + a detachable trailer might be a better option at the same price tag. In autonomy terms it's an ATV with a cabin, the optional trailer add load capacity when needed. Doing so means at least for the same price giving something funny enough to drive...
10kWh battery is around 5000 euros these days (p.v. Li-ion batteries mean prices), the frame+motors might be another 6-7k, and another 5k for finishing, the cabin etc. So for what it is it's expensive, at least it should also be fun IMVHO...
